Guise play Windows Vista calendar feature

I believe many friends have been using Microsoft's latest operating system: Windows Vista, then you should never miss the "Windows Calendar" component, which can be found in the Start menu "All Programs" under the figure. Simply put, the Windows Calendar features very similar to the calendar features in Office Outlook, but is easier to use because it is seamlessly integrated with the operating system. If you're just using a Windows calendar as a tool for scheduling appointments, it's a bit wasteful, and here's a few tips for using Windows calendars well.

Add a lunar calendar for Windows calendars

If you look at it, you'll find that Windows calendars are not like calendars in Office Outlook that can be switched to a Chinese-rich lunar date at any time in the options → calendar options → advanced options, so that we have a bit of a inconvenience when viewing traditional festivals. In fact, we can use the Apple's Holiday database for Windows Calendar to add a complete Chinese traditional festivals, such as Spring Festival, Yuanxiao, Qingming and so on, so much more convenient.

(1) Visit http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/

Ical/library/holidays.html, this is Apple's World Holiday page, which brings together nearly all the world's national holiday databases and, more enticing, free downloads to the public. Right-click to select "China Holidays", select "Copy Shortcut" from the menu, and copy "Webcal://ical.mac.com/ical/china32holidays.ics" to the clipboard for backup.

(2) Enter the main interface of Windows Calendar, select Subscribe from the Share menu, a dialog box will pop up, press CTRL + V to paste the data from the Clipboard, and the confirmation will automatically link to the Apple Server site to download the Chinese holiday database file.

(3) After the download of the database file is completed, a dialog box pops up asking if you want to rename the calendar, and the default name is "China32holidays", which is recommended as "traditional festival", and the time interval for updates is of course not required, after all, these lunar holidays are unlikely to change.

Once this is done, we can see the "traditional festival" calendar just subscribed to in the left pane of the Windows Calendar, select a traditional festival, and then you can see the relevant information in the right pane, as shown in Figure 1, where you can also set a different color.
